I'm backing Carlisle United 2–2 Salford City in this FA Cup first-round replay on 7 November 2026 at 18:00. Both sides arrive in scorching form, and I expect a draw because their trajectories point to a stalemate rather than a winner. Carlisle have won four straight matches across all competitions and beat Tamworth 2–1 in their previous cup outing. Salford are even hotter: eight consecutive League Two wins have lifted them to the top of the table, and they hammered Exeter 2–1 last weekend. I see a match where both teams create chances and both teams finish the job.
